Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY, MAXR Recaps & More

Maxar Technologies, Inc. MAXR – Review

Despite what appears to be a significant downturn looming this morning, the markets as a whole posted a solid bullish session on Friday, and that helped one stock we’ve been tracking in recent weeks to record a new high for us.

We tagged MAXR for observation in mid-March, and before the end of the month, it had consolidated down to a low of 3.83. The month of April brought a fairly steady uptrend, and Friday’s strong performance kicked it up another notch. The stock hit a new high of 6.66, marking a move of 74% in just over six weeks. The stock filled almost the entire topside gap that was on the chart, and the RSI has just cracked into the Power Zone, so we’ll want to continue to keep an eye on its activity.

Sysco Corp. SYY – Options Idea

Despite continued China trade tensions throwing a wrench into the markets to start the week today, we are going to be looking a little further ahead with an options idea relating to the imminent golden cross on the SYY chart, combined with the company’s earnings beat posted this morning in the premarket.

The food wholesaler has a chance to break a double top, and we’re going to be ready with an options idea in the event that it manages to do so. Our highlighted targets are going to be the SYY 06/14 $69.50-71 Calls.

Friday SPY Update: We signaled interest in the SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $292.50 Calls on Friday morning, and those contracts traded up from a low of .53 to 1.76, which represented a single-session move of 232%

Special Note: Our extended watchlist today contains more penny stocks than usual. The OTC tends to heat up when uncertainty strikes the larger markets. We’ll have an eye peeled for interesting activity on that front.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Earnings Related Options Ideas

Earnings Related Options Ideas

As our regular readers are well aware, a majority of our focus in recent years has been shifted from straight stock trading ideas to options. More specifically, short-term options in companies that have just reported their quarterly earnings.

We are the absolute best newsletter for options daytrading in existence, routinely providing ideas with multi-bag gain potential each and every week. Our record, which anyone can view at any time in our archives, speaks for itself.

After a huge number of reporting companies just released their quarterlies and several high impact economic reports came back positive this morning, we’re going to revisit some ideas in a few chains that have been good to us in the past:

Shake Shack, Inc. SHAK Weekly $67.50 Calls
Weight Watchers International, Inc. WW Weekly $22.50 Calls
SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $292.50 Calls
____

Bonus Idea:

Biogen, Inc. BIIB has been largely trading sideways since its huge flop on its alzheimer’s drug back in March caused a massive cratering of the stock. We look for large gaps on charts like this, along with signs that a stock has reached its lowest likely trading value. The latter signal, we can infer from the huge blocks of insider buying at current levels which have been reported over the past week. Two Form-4’s amounting to a total of roughly $20M in insider buys suggest that the current base is solid. We’ll look to take advantage of a longer-term idea and track the BIIB 07/19 $240-250 Calls.

ARCA Biopharma, Inc. ABIO

Occasionally we do still provide straight stock ideas as well, when a solid bottom or news play catches our attention. We put ABIO on bottom watch at the end of March when it was trading in the upper-$6 to $7 range. The stock was under steady consolidation for the whole of April, and reached as low as 5.01 just this week before launching into a huge two day uptrend.

Yesterday it reached a new high of 20.45, which marks an overall rise of 308% We also re-tagged it in our premarket report yesterday, and for those that only put it on their radars following that alert, yesterday’s intraday move alone was fairly impressive. It ran from 12.03 up to the previously mentioned high, which marks a one day upswing of 70%

AmpliTech Group, Inc. AMPGWe also wanted to track back to AMPG, which we profiled at the beginning of last month (>>View Report). The company recently added an independent director, with a wealth of related experience, and we feel the company has made an excellent choice.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SPY, SPOT Calls

OPTIONS RECAP

We had a number of options contracts that we were tracking on Friday, and ended up having good fortune with two out of the three sets that we were watching. Both the SPY and Ford enjoyed bullish intraday moves after the markets themselves fell briefly first thing in the morning, followed by an entire day of ascent and a very strong close. Here are the highest possible gains that could have been achieved on the back of our ideas.

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $291.50-292 Calls
$291.50 Calls – Range: .45-1.91 – Max Gain: 324%
$2292 Calls – Range: .26-1.49 – Max Gain: 473%

Ford Motor Co. F Weekly $9.50-10 Calls
$9.50 Calls – Range: .45-.95 – Max Gain: 111%
$10 Calls – Range: .07-.46 – Max Gain: 557%

It finished out one heck of a trading week for our options calls, of which we had at least seven separate sets of ideas that produced multi-bag gain opportunities, as you are welcome to confirm in our archives.
_____

FRESH IDEA: Based on the nature of Friday’s market activity, including that very strong close, we are going to bank on another session of bullish activity for the markets at large, and put the SPY 04/29(today) $292.50-293.50 Calls on watch.
_____

Bonus Idea: SPOT Weekly $140-142 Calls

Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. AXSM

We designated AXSM as a stock to watch in our report on March 26th, and after one full month of trading, we wanted to return to review its performance over that span.

From its low following our alert, which came in at 12.76, the stock has cruised steadily up to Friday’s new high of 18.13. That represented a one month upswing amounting to a total move of 42%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Closing Out a Huge Week

Options Review
